I’ve owned this watch for approximately 3 months now and I’m totally in love with it, for the past couple of years I’ve been wearing automatic watches as I’ve come to appreciate the fine craftsmanship in them. I had my eye on this omega for about a year now and I finally got around to buying it I must say definitely not your everyday purchase however one that I will never regret. This is my second Omega watch my first one is a James Bond 40 year anniversary Seamaster with the 007 logo in several locations.

This watch is completely exquisite in every single details, my purchase was not done thru amazon but one of the local omega boutiques where I live truly an experience.

I highly recommend this sport watch to anyone interested is not to dressy for my taste but it’s great watch for the outdoors for dressy ocassions I keep my Bond special edition watch, but I’ve been considering getting a Omega DeVille hmm maybe later.

Hope this review is helpful

I have just purchased this Omega watch and I am completely satisfied. This watch has everything that I was looking for, quality, workmanship, style at an exceptional price for the value. I had an extensive watch collection and had my home robbed, and they took everything I had. This is a start to my new collection, and having purchased the watch now, I find myself only wanting to wear this watch for all occasions. It works for work, going out for the evening or even a more formal affair. Hey George Clooney can’t be wrong! Buy it, you will be more than satisfied.

I have had this watch for almost a year and purchased from Amazon. I wear this and my other two Omega watches all of the time. You can not beat the extreme quality of these timepieces with co-axial movements. I have not gained or lost time in one year. I have friends with Rolex watches that have had numerous issues with them. It seems that they eventually loose time or need expensive service to be maintained. My girlfriend has almost given up on her datejust since it has been in for anther recent sevice @ $700 6 months ago. She was loosing time and the watch would stop and start at random. It just recently stopped working all together. Another friend keeps losing up to 5 minutes a month on his submariner. For the price point of the Omega I truly think it is the best value and best quality. I love my Planet Ocean, Constellation Double Eagle and my 1968 Constellation…all of which keep PERFECT time and look as new as the day they were purchased. If you can stand not to have the “status” of Rolex, do yourself a favor and get a Omega timepiece. You will not regret it!

Initially I was a bit skeptical about buying such an expensive watch without a manufacturer’s warranty. But knowing Amazon I went ahead as they are offering a 5 year warranty for this watch. Anyway I have no idea about how good their warranty really is and that could be the real deal breaker here.

The watch is by far one of the very best dive watches you can buy. Wear it on a jeans or a suit and it will never look out of place. It being a certified chronometer is well within its COSC specs of -4 to +6 seconds per day and I am loving it. it is also a very well made watch and a heavy one too. Buy it and trust me you will never regret it.

I am rather opinionated when it comes to luxury watches. This comes from spending 2 years in watchmaking school, studying directly under the guidance of a certified master swiss watchmaker who came here from Europe. Watches, especially mid to high grade swiss watches, are a passion of mine. I am not loyal to a brand or a style or anything else. I judge them for what they are, in terms of quality, function, construction, and style. A watchmakers point of view.

This said I will tell you that this particular watch is what I consider to be a “best kept secret” sort of watch. This is an AUTOMATIC watch (read: Mechanical – NOT Quartz), and of CHRONOMETER grade function. Chronometer as used here is a measure of accurate timekeeping, not quality – a point often misunderstood – and is used mostly from a marketing point of view by companies such as Rolex. HOWEVER. This movement in THIS watch is actually EXCELLENT in terms of quality, time keeping ability, and construction – easily comparable to other Swiss made movements from other famous manufacturers costing several times as much. This watch, properly serviced, will provide a lifetime of use – and probably more. Absolutely the sort of watch you pass down to the next generation.

All in all – and EXCELLENT choice – especially for those seeking their first QUALITY Swiss watch purchase.

Definitely recommended!
